LOST In The Hands Of Jimmy Kimmel

Here's a little ditty from Jimmy Kimmel's recent segment of Unnecessary Censorship for when you're feeling sad and alone, waking up from a dream that the end of Lost was just a hoax and realizing, well, it wasn't:

Talk about startin' them early!

Rainy Days Ahead...

Thunderstorms and downpours from today until the end of this long weekend...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Where's the sun, Hong Kong?!

Alas, we can't beat Mother Nature, and if you can't beat 'em, what're you gonna do? Make it colorful and fun!!

Rainboots are the best way to brighten up a gloomy, wet, tropically rainy day. Go bright or go home, people!

Now that your feet are covered, what do you do with all your parts north of there?? Here are a few of our favorite "rainy day fashion" tips from Collegefashion.net :

Shorts are a great way to stay as dry as possible. Water gets on your legs, you can just dry them off instead of living in your rain-soaked jeans all day! They look cute with rainboots too. Throw on a tee, a windbreaker or any other water-proof zip-up and a pair of bright rubber boots and you're good to go!

Don't be afraid to break out your dresses on a rainy day! With the same concept as shorts, it prevents you from having to sit with your jeans or pants glued to your legs all day. I love the color combo in this picture above. The yellow jacket makes everyone happy and the green boots are super funky! And I want that colorfully polka-dotted umbrella. So cute!

This one is a little more tame but is still uber cute. One great way to wear a denim jacket! Although in Hong Kong you might want to go with a denim shirt instead of a jacket. The thinner material would work way better in this heavy, sticky, hot weather! Notice the clouds on the inside of the umbrella? Ahhh the things you can do to turn your own frown upside down on a rainy day.. =)

Splishy Splashy!

In Store This Week -- UNIF

UNIF - U'RE NOT IN FASHION, THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE

This little LA brand began its journey in 2004 when creator/designer, Eric Espinoza, singlehandedly started to create tees from his own backyard. He took his unique designs from boutique to boutique, taking orders, making shirts, shipping them out within impressive time frames all by himself. 2 years later, he was approached by a seasoned LA designer who offered him an office and the assistance of a list of incredibly talented industry people to develop his craft and his brand. Another 2 years later, UNIF is found all over the globe with its complete collection of men's and women's cut & sew knits, wovens, denim, accessories, and much more.

UNIF embodies and represents true LA street and contemporary style. Eric's quirky personality is depicted in all of his fun collections which are definitely not for the bland. 80's style, crop tops, fun colors, flattering fits, creative & playful designs with both graphics and cuts - All fascinating & fabulous characteristics of his new Spring collection - Available @ Addiction this week!!
